La Liga Jornada 1

Valencia: Renan, Miguel, Albiol, Alexis, Moretti, Pablo Hernández, Albelda, Baraja, Mata, Silva y Villa.

Mallorca: Moyá, Josemi, Ramis, Nunes, Corrales, Martí, Varela, Arango, Jurado, Webó y Trejo.

Can anyone tell me anything about Renan? Never heard of him before.

Very strange that Hildeband has been dropped altogether.

So far, Albelda and Baraja have been first choice under Unai Emery.

Yeah 10mil euros in wages apparently for Eto'o.

Good to see Albelda back in the team.

Plus Eto'o said that Spurs would be a step down and wasn't interested in a club that size.

Baraja Marchena and Joaquin watching in the stands.

I just joined the game and I see Fernandes on the pitch, was it a substitution already?

Villa puts Valencia in front..

And Mata adds a second...

Baraja went off in the 20th minute

what's the story with Morientes? has he been let go?

TheCrazy58 wrote:what's the story with Morientes? has he been let go?

no no... he is on the bench. I just think that Valencia is turning to a more mobile attack where Morientes and Zigic aren't really what is needed since they are box players. Silva, Mata and Villa are interchange position much more and drift a lot.

Vicente makes it 3

Very good performance by Valencia. I know it was only one game and it was only Mallorca as an opponent, but this game gives me hope that Valencia from last season will be a soon forgotten history. Without strong Valencia LaLiga is just not he same.

David Villa is a phenom, scores so many goals, and still works so hard for his team.

Nice to see Fernandes doing well, after game like this (and today's Everton performance) I'll miss him more than ever. Too bad we didn't sign him when we had a chance...

You see Soriano/Emery's brilliant plan is working!

Damn right he does

I knew I should have had Fernandes in my FF starting XI, wasn't sure if he'd start or not

EMP have you ever chatted to Villa?

Not for a long while, but I have to Soriano recently - earlier this week.

How do people rate Zabaleta on here ? ive not seen loads of him but what i have seen he looks very good and i think for £6.5m he will be a good signing.

Solid right sided player, can play at rightback as well as in the midfield, should do a good job for City.

Cheers mate, not sure if we will play him rb (will do if corluka goes) or cm as competitin for Johnson.

He is more of a right sided midfielder.

So, good win for Valencia last night. Espanyol look like they got a bit lucky at the end but after their awful pre-season they'll take any kind of win.

Valencia looked very strong, maybe this will be their season

oi!! You support Iniesta remember!!

I have to admit that I really miss competetive Valencia, I love watching close games hosted at Estadio Mestalla. Hopefully this season they will be back.

And Robinho is my new favourite player... unless he will start claiming"I love Real", if they won't sell him in next 24 hours .

PS. I never have written it here, but I want to join a list of people who did it... Mijatovic and Calderon are idiots

Madridistas, tonight we dine in hell. 2-1 to us. Farca will start thrashing teams, with handful of goals from ego's dick or henry's bum, and perhaps think the seaon is theirs, wait till they bottle it in the end. Sevilla - win, Villareal - draw, and Crapletico willl thrash malaga. That's my prediction. I hate predictions, coz it gives room for dickheads to laugh on your face. But what the hell.....

Not a chance, Valeron's back.

Yeah it is gonna be exicting to see what form he is in. he is older now but pace was never really that much of his game.
